Lifetime is planning an uber-important episode for its hit series, Drop Dead Diva, and they've announced some big names that are planning to guest-star.

In July, the show will air an episode inspired by the true story of Constance McMillen, the young girl who was denied permission to attend her high school prom because of her sexual orientation. Slated to guest-star on the episode are Clay Aiken, Lance Bass and Constance herself!

Lovely! We're so pleased to hear that Constance's story has not been forgotten and is getting this kind of positive exposure! Bravo!

Hmm. Wonder what roles Lance and Clay will play in this??? Thoughts???

A federal judge has ordered Mississippi's Itawamba County School District to pay the $81,000 in legal fees and expenses that Constance McMillen incurred after having to bring them to court for banning her from her high school's prom - all because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as a date!

As they should! We're so thrilled that justice has been served!

Discrimination and bigotry have no place in this country, and ESPECIALLY not in schools!

Constance McMillen, the lesbian teenager who touched our hearts with her bravery and perserverence after she fought her Mississippi school district for banning her from her High School's prom because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as her date, will soon be the subject of a film, set to premiere on ABC Family!

The project, which is still apparently in early stages of development, will be written and directed by John Gray and produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

Amazing!

Constance is truly a remarkable young woman, and her story is such an inspiring one, so we look forward to seeing how it's adapted for the film! We sincerely hope it does her justice!
